Precautions

On safety

• Caution – The use of optical instruments

with this product will increase eye hazard.

• To prevent fire or shock hazard, do not

place objects filled with liquids, such as

vases, on the apparatus.

• Should any solid object or liquid fall into

the cabinet, unplug the player and have it

checked by qualified personnel before

operating it any further.

On power sources

• The player is not disconnected from the AC

power source as long as it is connected to

the wall outlet, even if the player itself has

been turned off.

• If you are not going to use the player for a

long time, be sure to disconnect the player

from the wall outlet. To disconnect the AC

power cord, grasp the plug itself; never pull

the cord.

On placement

• Place the player in a location with adequate

ventilation to prevent heat build-up in the

player.

• Do not place the player on a soft surface

such as a rug that might block the

ventilation holes.

• Do not place the player in a location near

heat sources, or in a place subject to direct

sunlight, excessive dust, or mechanical

shock.

• Do not install the player in an inclined

position. It is designed to be operated in a

horizontal position only.

• Keep the player and discs away from

equipment with strong magnets, such as

microwave ovens, or large loudspeakers.

On operation

• If the player is brought directly from a cold

to a warm location, or is placed in a very

damp room, moisture may condense on the

lenses inside the player. Should this occur,

the player may not operate properly. In this

case, remove the disc and leave the player

turned on for about half an hour until the

moisture evaporates.

• When you move the player, take out any

discs. If you don’t, the disc may be

damaged.

On adjusting volume

Do not turn up the volume while listening to

a section with very low level inputs or no

audio signals. If you do, the speakers may be

damaged when a peak level section is played.

On cleaning

Clean the cabinet, panel, and controls with a

soft cloth slightly moistened with a mild

detergent solution. Do not use any type of

abrasive pad, scouring powder or solvent

such as alcohol or benzine.

On cleaning discs

Do not use a commercially available cleaning

disc. It may cause a malfunction.

On transporting the player

Before transporting the player, follow the

procedure below to return the internal

mechanisms to their original positions.

1 Remove all the discs from the disc tray.

2 Press Z to close the disc tray.

Make sure that “NO DISC” appears on

the front panel display.

3 Press ?/1 to turn off the player.

The player enters standby mode and the

power indicator lights up in red.

4 Disconnect the AC power cord.

If you have any questions or problems

concerning your player, please consult your

nearest Sony dealer.

IMPORTANT NOTICE

Caution: This player is capable of holding a

still video image or on-screen display image

on your television screen indefinitely. If

you leave the still video image or on-screen

display image displayed on your TV for an

extended period of time you risk permanent

damage to your television screen.

Projection televisions are especially

susceptible to this.
